In defence of pseudonymity

[pozorvlak]

Over the nearly two years I've been writing this blog, I've been trying to keep it pseudonymous. People often confuse pseudonymity with anonymity, but they're not at all the same thing. This piece, by the Wikipedian named DragonflySixtyseven, is amongst other things an impassioned defence of pseudonymity. I recommend it highly.

So are you someone I know in real life, then?

Hah, I totally win at pseudonymity :-) I wouldn't say I know you very well in real life: we've met a couple of times (though fewer times than I've met rjw1), and you've probably seen me post on London.pm (though not for a few years).

Would you mind telling me who you are, please? Email to kake@earth.li is fine if you don't want to post it here.
